NBA ROUNDUP Thursday’s other game

Bulls 98, Mavericks 91

CHICAGO — Ben Gordon scored 35 points and Chicago roared back from an early 19-point deficit to send Dallas to its fourth straight loss. Luol Deng added 20 points and rookie Derrick Rose had 14 of his 16 in the third quarter for the Bulls, who were booed early in the game by the crowd at the United Center. All was forgiven by the fourth quarter, when the Bulls pulled away. Josh Howard, returning after missing two games with sore wrist, led Dallas with 21 points and added 11 rebounds. Erick Dampier scored 16 and pulled down 18 boards. Dallas blew out to a 24-5 lead less than six minutes into the game before Chicago recovered for a one-point halftime lead. In the third quarter, Rose’s play helped the Bulls take control and go up 78-70 with a quarter left.
